Re: [NTG-context] %%BoundingBox: (atend)

2 Jun 2004

Hi,

A one-line patch to texutil.pl is enough to handle most cases of (atend).
The method is far from waterproof,  but neither is a Korn Shell script,
and the added complexity to texutil.pl is neglible.

Greetings, Taco

Hello,
ConTeXt does not find the EPS-BoundingBox in EPS files generated by 
xmgrace.
Such a file begins like this:
%!PS-Adobe-3.0 EPSF-3.0
%%BoundingBox: (atend)
[...]
If not, I'm going to write a script, that converts the file.
if you have a small demo file i can add that feature to texutil
I'd suggest adopting some of the conventions used by the
LaTeX2e graphics bundle, in particular, to look for the 
BoundingBox in filename.(e)ps.bb.
Rather than making texutil more complex a separate tool (findbb, attached)
that reliably writes the bbox by trying several methods, even using the 
ghostscript bbox device to generate one (e.g., in the case of files 
created with dvips -E that get incorrect BoundingBox entries because the 
dvips calculation ignores things drawn by \specials).
Try "findbb xmgracefile.ps > xmgracefile.ps.bb"
